In a recent Clackamas County government meeting, a group of concerned citizens, primarily affiliated with the United Sovereign Americans organization, presented alarming claims regarding the integrity of the state's voter registration and election processes. The speakers, including volunteers and residents, asserted that their extensive research uncovered significant discrepancies in the 2022 election results, raising questions about the validity of the voter rolls and the accuracy of the vote counts.
Key findings highlighted during the meeting included allegations of over 97,000 ineligible or uncertain registrations and more than 71,000 votes cast by individuals deemed ineligible. Additionally, the group claimed that there were over 20,000 more votes counted than the number of voters who participated in the election, suggesting potential systemic failures in the electoral process.
The speakers called for a resolution demanding an end to what they described as inaccuracies and uncertainties plaguing elections in Oregon. They emphasized the need for transparency and accountability in the electoral system, urging local officials to support measures that would ensure a legally valid election in 2024. The proposed measures included rigorous audits, accurate voter rolls, and strict compliance with federal laws governing elections.
The meeting also featured testimonies from various residents who expressed their frustrations with the current voting system, citing personal experiences of receiving ballots for individuals who no longer resided at their addresses. These accounts underscored a broader sentiment of distrust among citizens regarding the electoral process.
As the meeting progressed, the speakers reiterated their commitment to ensuring that every vote counts and that the electoral system operates fairly and transparently. They urged the Clackamas County commissioners to take their concerns seriously and to act in support of the proposed resolution, which they believe is essential for restoring public confidence in the electoral process.
